This
adorable book opens with Baby Wren peeking out from her tiny
nest in a rock face crevice and spying the wonders in the
canyon that surrounds her: flittering butterflies, diving
kingfishers, ring-tailed cats, and eagles sailing through
the sky high above her. These miraculous things make her wish
she had something of value that she could do. Then she sees
the sun casting a pink glow upon the walls of the canyon in
which she lives, and her heart becomes overwhelmed by the
beauty around her. She bursts into song -- her special great
gift -- one she unknowingly shares with the creatures around
her.
Baby Wren and the Great Gift is a delightful book
with a special meaning for all of us: no matter how big or
small, each of us has a special God-given gift we can share
with others. As a mother and grandmother, I believe that message
is especially important, for all children must learn that
each of us is unique in our own special way, that we all have
special talents to share with others. It just sometimes takes
time to discover what they are.
Baby Wren and the Great Gift is a hardback book designed
for children 4-8 years of age (Preschool to Grade 2), and
is beautifully written by award-winning Sally Lloyd-Jones,
a leading writer of inspirational books for children. The
book, approximately 11" wide x 9-1/4" high, is expertly
illustrated by the highly talented Jen Corace. Her brightly
colored vistas often flow across two open pages, providing
a delightful panorama of the world around Baby Wren.
Children and parents will love each scene and sharing the
heart-warming messages contained within this exquisite book.
It's bound to be a favorite that children will want to read
again and again.
